According to Osho, the breath is the nearest inner sound—the last, natural anchor as you go inward. Simply noticing its rhythm gathers your scattered attention; outer noises grow distant. If attention gently abides there, a moment comes when even breath-awareness drops. That effortless falling-away is the ‘jump’ into silence, where meditation flowers beyond technique, concentration, or object.
Your breath is a friendly handle: hold it lightly until everything goes quiet, and then it lets go by itself, leaving you in deep stillness.
